I am currently running their 89 tune for a V6 auto. I can nail it and it shifts very different from stock, FIRM.... I would say that if they don't show a V6 C&L/SCT combo on there site, give them a call.
I am almost done with the wait and it looks like I'm just going to order the C&L from them, since I already bought a tuner from them, I'll get the updated tunes free according to their website.... Then I just have to try and get money back...lol...
breenspeed updates their tunes for free? like if i added a different exhaust system or gears?

You have to purchase the parts from Brenspeed and they will update your tune(s) for free. If you buy parts elsewhere, you have to pay for an update. Wasn't too thrilled about that deal (after seeing the "free tunes for life" from AM but found out those were canned tunes from AM), but heard good things about Brenspeed tunes, so I went with it. Their part prices seem comparable though, give or take.

brenspeed sounds like a good option, but has anyone heard of VMP Tunning lately? the reason I brought that up is because they are less than 60 miles from me. And they show a C&L intake and tuner combo. But the last thing i heard about them was the quality of their tunes went down the drain....

I've been waiting since Dec 13th and have emailed Doug 4 times. He hasn't gotten back to me on any of them. I sent him an email today telling him that if he does not have a tracking number for me by Monday afternoon (Jan 18) I will be filing a dispute with paypal, along with contacting the BBB and his local authorities for what is effectively theft. Well see if that motivates him at all. I'll let you folks know how it goes.

Doug always treated me right and I think what he's trying to do is take care of customers while backlogging new ones but I wouldn't deal with someone who took 2 months to respond.

So no luck there either.
Ok, that is scary. So its scammer central with no repercussions??/ I doubt it

Now that's really creepy. I'd never expect Discover to do anything like that. I would call back and talk to another rep. In this case, I think it's Discover's liability to collect from PayPal after they gave your credit back. Did you pay it yet?
